Dave Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Didn't realise he had to be more realistic but I reckon we could attract him back to the North East. Sorry, I edited that. I thought you had been one of those saying we wouldn't be able to afford Jarvis, my mistake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 I can't imagine he'd cost much more than £8m and if we could get £5m or so for Jonas I think it'd be value for money. Or how about Etherington? Pardew knows all about him and is like Guppy in that he can knock the ball past the full back and deliver quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Selling Etherington would be like Stoke asking to be part of a relegation battle. No chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Can't see Etherington leaving Stoke like. Arguably their best player and he finally seems settled and working on his demons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 One last shot at playing regularly in a stadium like ours though in a team trying to play football. Maybe even a last stab at getting international football if he's supplying the bullets for Carroll at club level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Downing would cost a lot of money and would have little resale value that would be higher so no chance IMO. Downing and Adam Johnson on either wing, SJH will be having a wet dream. HBA to sign a 5 year deal plus another strike lined up. I think if we can do this and get Barton and Jose and Colo all on extended contracts that would suit me. Plus if being greedy a right and left winger who can create a cross or 2 This would be ideal. I think we will see a LB in on loan and a Striker. Really hope the striker is significantly better than what we have, we need to ship Xisco, Best, Lovenkrands and Shola out, the latter two can wait until the summer. I think we will be in for Keane without a doubt. I expect him to end up somewhere else though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stephen927 Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Downing or Jarvis would be fantastic, both players who constantly look to float crosses in every time they get the ball. Not sure on Downing's situation at Villa, he might fancy a move with Houllier there, a few players haven't been happy with his methods. We'd have to pay through the nose for Jarvis due to his importance for Wolves. I don't think they could replace him in January and without him I'd put them down as certainties for relegation.

Dave Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Just noticed a bot browsing a thread about Keegan mentioning we had no recognised alternative to Enrique and wanting to bring someone in. April 2008 that was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 When you think about it, we've been fucking lucky having Enrique the past couple of years, when our only alternative has been Van Aanholt for a few months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 I'm not expecting any major business. Clubs don't want to sell a first eleven player as they only have a month to replace them. Any player we get will either be playing in a worse division (i.e. Championship, Swiss League, maybe a non-leading French team), a different continent (different calendar or transfer rules), or not be getting a game for whoever they play for.

Delima Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 If Wolves go down (and we stay up) I'd like us to try for Milijas. I know this is more of a realistic summer target We should buy Steven Fletcher instead. He is criminally underused by a toothless Wolves. The right age profile, the right playing style to complement Andy Caroll, works tirelessly, should cost reasonably since Wolves only spent 6M on him.

Am sure Wolves will happily give us him for a loss after just 6 months then wont they? Have you been stuck in the kennels since Mike Ashley arrived?

Optimistic Nut Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Come on then Village Idiot, what can you tell us about Oriol Romeu? http://www.sport.es/default.asp?idpublicacio_PK=44&idioma=CAS&idnoticia_PK=733585&idseccio_PK=803 Villa & Blackburn the main two candidates for him, but Arsenal, Spurs, Newcastle & Everton are monitoring him too.

taxfree Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Give me Canales on loan Graham Carr and Pardew! He is suddenly even further down the pecking order now that Kaka comes back from injury. Enrique & co would be perfect to help him settle. Call it a long shot, but both Arsenal and Sampdoria are reportedly after him. I'd say we are a more attractive side than Sampdoria, and Mourinho and Wenger doesn't go along at all. A bit subjective here, but no doubt he is a terrific player and prospect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sicko2ndbest Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Bolton are safe imo, which would have been the starting point for the season. 7th or 8th is the best they can hope for. I think a bid of 4-5 million would secure Elmander and fend off more interest in the summer. I think he would see us as a step up. 4-5million sounds a lot when you consider he is out of contract in the summer, but i think if we wait, the likes of Liverpool, Everton and even Chelsea could become interested which would make his signiture very difficult to obtain. With the way we play i think another big striker would be the best way to go Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
